Refuel at Mahe Airport - it will be difficult at night!

Should you have to return your rental car with a full tank of fuel, you will find a petrol station directly opposite the airport building, which is only open until 9 pm. In addition, there are now several other petrol stations on the island, located in Anse Royale, Bai Lazare, between Grand Anse and Barbarons, between Pascal Village and Beau Vallon and near Eden Island on the way to Victoria.

Our tip: When renting a rental car, be sure to pay attention to a fair fuel tank arrangement, as it is not usual in Seychelles to hand over a fully refuelled rental car, so that you could be left lying in bed with a late arrival, possibly with an empty tank.
